New kid on the block

Hi. My name is Janet and I should have a surgery date set in Sept ot Oct. Still got the sleep study and the psych to do. I have been approved and been to the support groups. I thought I might learn more here. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Janet, welcome to the MD board. Best of luck with your journey toward WLS. Keep us updated. I'm heading up into your neck of the woods today. Some park on John Downs Loop in Pasadena. Have a good one! TraciL

Hi Traci! Wave when you come by my house That would be Downs Park you are going to! Have a good one. Hugs, Mo

I was waving, did you see me? Beautiful area, beautiful park. We went there for a Norwich University Alumni/freshman send-off for this coming year. My son is a senior there this year, and this is the first picnic that we've been able to attend. Rained some of the way up the road, but stayed clear while we were there. Very nice. Later, TraciL

Traci, I thought about you when I saw the weather was supposed to be ugly today, but it's now 8:30 and only JUST now storming so you made out. It must have been hot at the park but at least it wasn't raining! Hugs, Mo

HI Janet, Best wishes on your WLS journey! Hugs, Mo

Hi Janet!!! Welcome to the MD board! Congrats on having your surgery scheduled!! I have my consult 8/1, almost here, I can't wait. From what I've seen, as long as Cigna cooperates, I should have my surgery probably in October... So I can't provide much advice , but I can provide lots of support!

Hi Janet, Another thought ... we are getting a group together on Sunday August 6th at Arundel Mills. We are meeting at the Blue Star Grille (or Diner ?) at noon that day. Hope you can join us. Hugs, Mo

Hi Janet, Welcome to OH and the MD Board. We have a great group of people here on this board. Sept/Oct will be here before you know it. If you have any questions ask away! Take Care, Terry

Thanks everyone! Cindy - it sounds like we will prepare together. I am hoping for at least October. Mo- Since I haven't had the surgery yet, can I still come on August 6th? Terry- thanks, I am excited!
